Gu Qingcheng stayed in Liujia Temple for half a month and coordinated all the matters concerning the farm.
She provided the drawings and connections, and Zhou Ziqin provided the money.
With Liujia Temple as the center, Gu Qingcheng circled the three surrounding villages.
Tens of thousands of acres of land were all registered under the name of the farm.
Of course, there were voices of opposition from farmers in several villages.
However, when the complete set of new agricultural machinery customized by Gu Qingcheng drove into the mountain village in a mighty manner, everyone was shocked.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a plane? Am I crazy? I actually saw a plane right outside my house?"
"No, how could there be a plane? Expert Gu just built an agricultural base."
"I know! My daughter's sister-in-law is from Liujiamiao. She went back to her parents' home to inquire about it and was told that this was an agricultural aircraft used to spread pesticides!"
"What? What are pesticides?"
"No, it's just farming, why do you need a plane?"
"Oh my god, how much does such a big plane cost? The fuel alone must be quite a lot, right?"
"...You probably don't know this, but this farm was built specifically for a research institute in Beijing. They're rich here."
"Come on! It's obvious that the supercomputing center's logistics director is rich. He paid for the custom-made agricultural aircraft out of his own pocket!"
People in several villages were talking about it.
They were completely stunned by the "luxurious" equipment on the farm.
As a result, some people who were originally very reluctant to join the farm are now very willing to do so.
Only a fool would not agree to this!
I farm my own land and even plow the ground myself.
But after being incorporated into the farm, tasks such as plowing and harvesting can be completed by just having the big machine rumble around once.
"Oh, no wonder the newspapers say we've surpassed the ugly goose. With all these big guys, I guess the ugly goose doesn't even exist."
"He's still an expert after all. He can even get a plane!"
"...Tsk, didn't he marry a rich wife?"
"Ning's Third Family, why can't you learn your lesson? Humph, everyone knows you. You Nings are just jealous. You are jealous that our Gu family has produced an expert, Gu!"
"Who said we are jealous? Our Ning family's Ning Zecheng is not bad either!"
"Yes! Although Ning Zecheng doesn't hold any official position, he is the person that Expert Gu trusts the most and can contact him directly!"
"Humph, why don't you tell us that the deputy director of the farm is actually Gu Xiuzhi from our Gu family?"
"What happened to Gu Xiuzhi? She's still the daughter-in-law of our Ning family!"
The two major families of Gu and Ning in Liujia Temple are very united when dealing with external affairs.
But once they returned to the village, all kinds of open and secret struggles began.
However, they have achieved a certain balance when it comes to the farm.
The farm manager was sent from Beijing, but the deputy manager was Gu Xiuzhi.
And Gu Xiuzhi married Ning Zecheng.
After all, the two major surnames, Gu and Ning, have their own satisfaction.
When Gu Qingcheng left, the farm had taken shape.
By the time the spring plowing season of the following year began, the work had already taken place on a very large scale.
Gu Qingcheng always received letters from home, Ningze City, etc., so even though she was far away in the capital or in seclusion from time to time, she could always get news from her hometown and the outside world.
"Qingcheng, my mother wrote to me saying that production communes have been implemented in our hometown."
Zhou Ziqin, with her slightly bulging belly, chatted with Gu Qingcheng, who had finally had a rest, about some trivial family matters.
“Some villagers are still tempted to leave the farm and join other communes.”
Zhou Ziqin said with a little concern while picking up some food for Gu Qingcheng.
"That's fine. Let's adopt the voluntary principle!"
Gu Qingcheng was not too worried.
Firstly, this is a major historical trend that is difficult for individuals to change.
Secondly, this is also a time of great success.
Her farm doesn't have to be too big, but it must be "pure".
"By the way, Zecheng sent some medicinal herbs. Xiuzhi might have found them in the mountains. There's even a thousand-year-old ginseng in it."
When this topic was mentioned, Zhou Ziqin was obviously very happy.
Ginseng is definitely the best thing that Gu Qingcheng needs most during her retreat.
However, good ginseng is hard to come by on the market.
It was difficult for Zhou Ziqin to buy it even with gold bars.
Ningze City, on the other hand, would send some medicinal herbs from time to time.
Zhou Ziqin also had some guesses about the source of these medicinal herbs - Gu Xiuzhi picked them herself.
This girl is a famous wolf in Liujia Temple. She grew up in the mountains.
When I was young, I often wandered in the mountains and forests to fill my stomach.
Therefore, Gu Xiuzhi can hunt and collect herbs.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
It shouldn’t be Gu Xiuzhi. To be more precise, it’s not entirely her!
Although Liujia Temple is located in the mountains, there are also deep mountains and old forests.
However, due to geographical and environmental factors, the mountains and forests near Liujia Temple should not have so many high-quality medicinal herbs.
"This Ningze City must have a cheat!"
"For example, the system or something!"
Gu Qingcheng was not just guessing.
When she called home regularly, Gu's mother would also talk about some gossip about her hometown.
